Old Dominion moves to bigger Detroit site

Friday, October 26, 2012

Old Dominion Freight Line said Thursday it's expanding its service into Canada with the relocation and expansion of its Detroit service center.
The less-than-truckload carrier, which has been in the Detroit suburb of Troy for 11 years, said it has moved into a larger facility located on a 16-acre site in Troy near the Interstate-75 corridor. The move will allow it to provide overnight service into parts of Ontario.
The new Detroit terminal, which also includes a repair shop, provides direct service to a number of cities throughout the region, including Auburn Hills, Chesterfield, Ferndale, Lapeer, Oak Park, Pt. Huron, Madison Heights, Royal Oak and Warren.
The company operates a total of seven terminals in Michigan. Last month, the company relocated its Grand Rapids service center to a larger facility.
